Flavored Water Break

My body requires that I drink about a gallon of water a day.  Yes, you read that right.  Between breastfeeding my 6 month old, P90X, and just it being summer time 100 oz is what is recommended to be by my naturopath to protect my milk supply and head off mastitis (which I have had twice this time around!  Blech!).  But let me tell you, 100 oz of water a day gets BORING.  I started adding lemon and slices of cucumbers into my water.  Then my friend gave me a set of 4 old milk bottles that she found at a garage sale and I went crazy. 

Here is what we have tried so far (and if it was good for the kids or not):

• Slices of Lemon
• Slices of Lime
• Sliced Watermelon
• Sliced Watermelon & Sliced Kiwi (kids say no)
• Slices of Orange
• Pineapple Sage (my current favorite)
• Fresh Mint
• Fresh Chocolate Mint
• Cucumber (we used the lemon cukes out of the garden, they worked great!)
• Cucumber with Fresh Basil (kids say no.  I thought it was great!)
• Pineapple
• Blueberries (kids say no)
• Lavender (kids say no)

And I am still looking so this is what we are trying next (please, let me know if you have tried any of these!):

• Slices of Ginger
• Coffee beans (just a few?)
• Lavender & Blueberries
• Celery

I have tried so many different kinds of water in the last few weeks and it has made getting my daily ration of water SO much easier!  I hardly even have to think about it.  I have three or four different kinds of water in my fridge at all times.  It feels like a treat to fill up my cup.
